The Blue Raiders received 393 voting points from the national raters to jump four spots in the poll. Lindsey Wilson closed out its fall schedule on Tuesday with a win at the Mid-South Conference Fall Preview at the Bowling Green Country Club.

Cumberlands -- who were outside the poll last week, but still received voting points -- jumped into the top-25 this week with 123 voting points from the national raters. Cumberlands finished second this week at the MSC event.

Keiser (Fla.) remained atop the national poll with 497 voting points. Reinhardt (Ga.) is No. 2 with 477 points and Marian (Ind.) is No. 3 with 456 points.

The next poll is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 20, 2026.

 

Ratings Methodology

·        The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and unaffiliated groupings.

·        The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 for third-place, and so on through the list.

·        The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team’s rating will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) on which the team appears.

·        Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
